Working Process
Please compile all of your character/environment descriptions, references, requirements, etc. into a single slideshow or document (or an email if it's short). This helps me understand your requests more clearly.
- First, I will create rough line and color sketches to get a general sense of shapes and colors you like as well as create any designs you like.
- When you approve of the sketch, I will begin the final illustration.
- Adjustments and refinements will be made during the painting process, with your suggestions and revisions.
- My YouTube channel has full video process examples if you would like to see it more clearly.
Typically, 2-4 sketches and 2-3 editing rounds in the final process are included in the base price, depending on the size of work. Extra sketching or editing during the process is charged by an additional hourly rate. Progress updates are sent about once a week.
You will receive the final illustration JPG/PNG and PSD at 4k resolution (~4000 px). If you would like a larger file size, I will
